Hi Maryy, I wanted to ask something: I really like the buttons at the back and would like to create it myself, but do you have problems closing the buttons up? How do you do it, is it easy? Thank you, Jana

I have an Ardour project that was recorded with Ardour setup as a Jack
slave, driven by Muse. It correctly tracks the tempo from Muse at
130bpm. However, it has ended up with a tempo timeline tag of 120bpm.
Is that something hardcoded? Should I change it in the Ardour project
to reflect the true tempo? Why didn't it notice that it was tracking
faster than that?--

Here is a quick 40 second video showing all the little elements I touch up before an ad. In this case, I am working on an images of a new Jeep Grand Cherokee This was not a particularly complicated edit, but you can see a little bit of the process I go into, nonetheless. The before and after photos (lowres versions) are posted below. You may note that I use Nik Software's Viveza 2 to bring out details in the clouds, brighten the arch, and even tone on the Jeep.
Lighting was pretty simple and straightforward. I used 2 White-Lightning x1600 and 1 x3200 strobes with 7″ silver reflectors connected to a 3k watt generator I rented from Home Depot. Fired the lights using pocketwizard transceivers. The lights rarely went over 2/3 power (estimate around 400 watts?). This goes to show you dont necessarily need a lot of fancy lighting attachments and high powered lighting to create a car ad. Just well planned location, flash angle, camera angle, and balancing the light output on the vehicle with the environment so one doesn't look too much brighter than the other. I rarely point a flash directly at a car because it creates flash reflection. Most times I will point it off center or at completely the inverse angle from the camera (I believe that is the proper terminology. See the diagram below. Aside from the fill, the other 2 mail lights are at a complete angle. I don't mind the flash reflection in the grill. Kind of gives it a cool sparkling effect.

David Joyner acting AD at Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State is turning to a member of its board of trustees who played football and wrestled for the school to serve as its acting athletic director in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal.
Dr. David M. Joyner, a business consultant and an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine, will take over the job performed until last week by Tim Curley.
More from ESPN.com
ESPN.com's Rick Reilly wrote about the Penn State scandal last week. After it, he heard stories of hope from victims of child sexual abuse. He shares some here. Story
To date, no single entity involved has voluntarily done the right thing and put the children -- the actual victims -- first, contends ESPN.com's Howard Bryant. Story
• Grantland: Open Letter to McQueary
Curley is on leave as he defends himself against criminal charges that he failed to properly alert authorities when told Sandusky allegedly sodomized a young boy in the Penn State football showers in 2002, and that he lied to a grand jury.
Sandusky was charged Nov. 5 with sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year span starting in 1994.
Joyner's position on the board, where he has been a trustee since 2000, is being suspended as he takes on the new duties.
Among his likely tasks will be finding a replacement for Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno, who was fired last week by trustees amid mounting criticism that he and other school leaders should have done more to stop the alleged attacks. Paterno won a Division I record 409 games over a 46-year career.
Longtime school president Graham Spanier also was fired, replaced by Rod Erickson, previously the school's chief academic officer since 1999.
University vice president Bill Mahon said on Tuesday that Erickson wants to make sure the school is "better aligned," and that there are no opportunities for miscommunication between athletics and the rest of the school, or a lack or hesitancy to communicate.
There was no timeline for the coaching search, Mahon said. The 21st-ranked Nittany Lions (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten) visit Ohio State (6-4, 3-3) on Saturday.
Joyner earned a bachelor's degree and a medical degree in the 1970s from Penn State. He has worked with the U.S. Olympic Committee extensively, serving as head physician to U.S. teams at the 1992 Winter Olympics, chairman of the sports medicine committee and vice chair of the anti-doping committee.
"Dave Joyner has served the board with integrity, and he is internationally known for his work with the U.S. Olympic Committee," Erickson said in a statement. "I am confident that he will bring that same integrity to his new role."
Joyner was named the school's outstanding football alumnus in 1985 and was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.
Mark Sherburne, who performed the job after Curley went on leave, has returned to his previous position as associate athletic director.

Parallel Catmull-Rom Spline Interpolation Algorithm for Image Zooming Based on CUDA
School of Information and Engineering, Wenzhou Medical College, Zhejiang 325035, China
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences, Volume 7, p.533-537, 2013
title={Parallel Catmull-Rom Spline Interpolation Algorithm for Image Zooming Based on CUDA},
author={Wu, T. and Bai, B. and Wang, P.},
journal={Appl. Math},
In order to scale video image real-timely, a GPU-aided parallel interpolation algorithm was proposed. Catmull-Rom Spline algorithm for image zooming was reformed into SIMD (Single instruction, multiple data) mode according to CUDA programming model. Re-sampling of each pixel was completed by a GPU thread. Hence, time-consuming re-sampling procedure of the whole zooming process were handled by parallel threads. The proposed algorithm runs hundreds times faster than traditional algorithm in experiments, and the speed is fast enough for scaling video frames real-timely. In addition, this algorithm can be extended to solve many other image processing related problems, such as image denosing and image segmentation.

BOSTON, July 23, 2014 – Wisconsin native Sherri Steinhauer will return to Michigan this year to defend her title at the Wendy's Charity Challenge, an event on the LPGA Legends Tour.
Set for Aug. 10-11, at the Country Club of Jackson, the eight-time LPGA Tour winner says she is looking forward to competing again in the Midwest against a top field of LPGA veteran players.
"I love the Country Club of Jackson because its small greens and tight fairways remind me so much of the course I grew up playing at home in Madison, Wisconsin," said Steinhauer, a two-time Legends Tour winner who won last year's tournament in a two-hole playoff against Christa Johnson, the event's 2009 champion.
"The course also sets up well with some reachable par-5 holes that you need to take advantage of during the tournament," added Steinhauer, who now lives in California.
The event will feature an 18-hole professional tournament on Sunday, Aug. 10, followed by an 18-hole pro-am tournament on Monday, Aug. 11. Tee times start at noon, with gates opening at 11 a.m.
A field of 25 Legends Tour players will compete for a purse of $100,000.
This year's tournament field will include World Golf Hall of Famers Pat Bradley and Donna Caponi. Michigan natives in the tournament field include Cindy Figg-Currier of Mt. Pleasant, Mich., and Elaine Crosby of Jackson, Mich.
"The competition on The Legends Tour has always been great, but as I get older, it's getting tougher to win with the younger players who are now eligible to compete, such as Great Britain's Laura Davies and Canada's Lorie Kane," added Steinhauer, who won two major championships during her LPGA Tour career. "It's fun to take advantage of the opportunities I have to pull out a win whenever I can."
Kane will compete in this year's event along with Trish Johnson of Great Britain and Australia's Wendy Doolan. All three players recently became eligible to compete on The Legends Tour, the official senior tour of the LPGA for players age 45 and over.
Proceeds from this year's tournament will support Wendy's Wonderful Kids and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. More than $2 million has been raised for the charities since the tournament's inaugural year in 1999.
Tickets are $10 each day at the gate. Kids under 17, as well as military personnel with an ID, get in free.

I've had under eye bags since I can remember. I've tried everything under the sun to fix the problem, but I realize I might need to get surgery to get rid of them. I used to have them really bad on Monday mornings (probably from drinking over the weekend) but would decrease as the week progressed. I now constantly have them and I wear glasses (non-prescription) just to hide them. Can someone provide a price range for the surgery?
Is 31 Too Young to Get Under Eye Bag Surgery?
Doctor Answers (17)
Promoted Local Answer
Hi Sylmar in Sylmar, CA,
Generally, there are a few options to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids, eye bags, or dark circles. First option includes basic skin care, tretinoin, and/or chemical peels. This nonsurgical method helps improve the skin quality, reduce pigmentary changes, and improves overall appearance of the lower eyelid & cheek areas.
Second more advanced option is an injectable filler or fat to plump up the area. Fillers are made of material that is slowly removed over time. Facial fillers treatment is performed in the office vial local anesthesia.
The last option, and also the most aggressive, is eyelid plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery of the lower eyelid may remove or reposition fat in the eye bag area, and possible remove some sagging skin. Plastic surgeons typically don't recommend cosmetic eyelid surgery in young patients. However, each patient is unique and circumstances may vary. Age alone is not a determining factor if a person is a cosmetic surgery candidate.
Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
Dr. Chaboki
Web reference: http://www.potomacplasticsurgery.com/facial-plastic-surgery/eyelid-surgery.cfm
I do not have a specific age restriction for doing lower eyelid surgery. The need for surgical correction is not based upon your chronological age, but on the condition of your eyelids. You may be one of those who was just born to have droopy lower lids. They can be fixed at age 31 or 61.
Lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery) is certainly an option for anyone with a significant, surgically-correctable problem. There is no definite age-limit (young or old) regarding such surgery--if you have a surgically-correctable issue and are healthy enough to undergo surgery, then it is an option to consider.
However, there are many other options you might consider before having surgery. You said you have "tried everything" to fix your undereye fullness, but you didn't indicate what things you've tried. Fillers can be very helpful in this area, as can some types of RF or laser treatments.
See a board-certified plastic surgeon (or 2 or 3) to find out which options might fit you.
You might also like...
95% of the patients I see with bags and dark circles under their eyes have them because of an indentation, or small valley at the transition from the eye socket to the rest of the face.
In my practice we use fillers to smooth this transition area and to augment the cheeks. We have had great success with this.
While 8 years ago, lower lid Blepharoplasty was the best treatment available, today, most people are best treated with fillers.
Good luck in your search for information.
Web reference: http://yourfaceinourhands.com/plastic-surgery/dermafillers-eyes.cfm
I think you would be an excellent candidate for transconjunctival lower lid surgery. Use of an filler to the under eye hollows might also be considered as a nonsurgical option.
Web reference: http://kassmd.com
There are no age specific criteria for lower eyelid surgery. The nice thing about being younger when you have the excess fat of the lower eyelids removed is that typically no other treatment for that area is necessary. The procedure can easily be done by making a small incision behind the eyelid, called a transconjunctival approach, and directly removing the fat bags with no visible scarring. I cannot speak for the price in your area but in our area it runs about 2300 for the procedure and about another 1000 for the facility and anesthesia. I hope this information helps.
Lower lid fullness can be a facial feature inherited from a parent and intervention for this may be something you can consider if you would like. There are nonsurgical options such as lasers, peels, and injectable fillers. The surgical procedure that helps improve the appearance of the lower lids is lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Consultation with an oculoplastics surgeon can help you determine which options are available to you to obtain the results you desire.
Some individuals have puffy eyelids as a family trait. If they don't like the appearance, it can be addressed with eyelid surgery. It's fairly straighforward surgery with predictably good results.
Web reference: http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,22-atlanta-eyelid.htm
Patients can undergo lower blepharoplasty when needed. At age 31 it is best to probably undergo a transconjunctival approach with removal of the fad pads in the lower lids. There is no external incision. The fat is simply removed through the inside of the lower lid. This takes approximately half an hour under general anesthesia and the cost is approximately $3000. This includes the operating room, the anesthesia, and the surgeon's fee for performing the procedure. These bags are very difficult to remove under local anesthesia. Expect approximately two weeks of bruising and swelling after the surgery.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com
Lower eyelid bags can be congenital and worsen at a young age. It is not uncommon for women in their 30s with such a problem to have it corrected. Unfortunately, most plastic surgeons are recommending fillers in the area which are temporary and can make the ultimate fix more difficult. From an anatomic perspective, you have weakness in your lower eyelid and drooping of your cheek which can accentuate the skin and fat of the eyelid. For your complaint, I would recommed a lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and muscle tightening, as well as skin removal and eyelid tightening. You may also benfit from a midface lift or cheek lift whic can be performed through the lower eyelid as well. Costs of these porcedures can vary, but plan on taking a couple of weeks off to recover.

Chronology of the Right to Vote: The United States Constitution
1804: 12th Amendment
Concerns the process by which electors shall vote for the President and Vice-President of the Unites States.
1868: 14th Amendment
Section 1: Defines what it is to be a U.S. citizen: "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This confirms that African-Americans are indeed U.S. citizens.
Section 2: Discusses apportionment for representatives. Makes clear that the vote lies with male citizens 21 years of age and older. This de facto legitimizes the exclusion of women from politics.
1870: 15th Amendment
Section 1: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
This implicitly leaves open restrictions based on property, literacy, tax-paying status, etc.
1920: 19th Amendment
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
1951: 22nd Amendment
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
1971: 26th Amendment
Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States who are 18 years of age or older to vote.

The staff backs all of their work with a 100% guarantee for the life of the vehicle, and, as authorized dealers, also honor manufacturer warranties for all of the equipment brands with which they work. They work on vehicles that range form Hondas to Ferraris.
The ASE-certified staff at Plymouth Auto & Tire Center is totally capable of performing costly repairs?but they'd prefer not to. They'd rather spend their time educating customers on how to properly maintain their vehicle in order to avoid expensive breakdowns all-together. Armed with 40 years of experience, the techs conduct regular inspections and oil changes to keep engines running smoothly and check for potential problems such as a malfunction in the car's electrical system or a leak in its dashboard milk dispenser. Brake repairs, coolant flushing, and muffler repairs, all also fall within the crew's expertise, and they can also swap out worn tires with name brand replacements from Goodyear, Michelin, and BF Goodrich.
Sam Meineke opened his three-bay muffler shop in 1972 with a single product line, and through time, he and his successors have expanded the business into a complete automotive car-care center. Today, nearly 900 franchise owners operate their locations around the globe, still standing on the firm foundation of Sam's ideal of nursing vehicles back to health at fair prices. Meineke Car Care Center's mechanics perform an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.
From a basic checkup to major surgery, the staff at Dr. Detail lavishes cars with the same dutiful attention that doctors reserve for their golf clubs. The attentive mechanics can cure vehicles' cosmetic woes with a menu of thorough detail packages that ensure exteriors, interiors, and engines squeak clean after hand washes, waxes, and shampoos. The crew can also reverse cars' signs of aging and boost resale values with scratch repairs, pinstriping, dent removal, and car-alarm installations.

The best concerts in Denver this weekend
Eric Gruneisen
DISCO BISCUITS at OGDEN THEATRE / 1STBANK CENTER | 1/23-25
Jamtronica pioneers the Disco Biscuits build interesting set lists: They invert portions of jams into each other, surprising audience members again and again while shining a mega-ton of lasers in their faces for an overstimulation extravaganza. The Biscuits will take over the Ogden for two nights, then expand for a big finale on Saturday night at 1STBANK Center. The Philly band always shows Colorado lots of love, even when its touring schedule winds down to allow for work on other projects.

SAT | THE MOTET at FILLMORE AUDITORIUM | 1/25/14
The Motet is ubiquitous in the state of Colorado, with a show at the Fillmore being extra special because it's also the band's new album release party. While Motet shows that cover other bands are fun, the outfit's real talent lies in the original funk it creates and the psychedelic improvisations. The night will be jam packed with new material sure to have the dance floor bumping and bringing something different and new to its hardcore fan base.
SUN | EYEHATEGOD at BLUEBIRD THEATER | 1/26/14
Eyehategod was formed in New Orleans in the late '80s by guitarist Jimmy Bower and original drummer Joey LaCaze. Though the group is often lumped in with sludge-metal acts, its earliest efforts clearly had one foot in punk, with singer Mike Williams's forceful, seemingly unhinged vocals matching the music's dynamics in waves of emotional outbursts. Openly drawing inspiration from the Melvins and Saint Vitus, Eyehategod also had a bit of raucous Flipper sensibility, as evidenced during the recording of the band's third album, Dopesick, when Williams reportedly bled all over the studio after cutting himself on glass he'd smashed for sound effects. Despite the band's history of setbacks and splits, Eyehategod's shows remain a powerful live experience.
SUN | TRACTORBEAM at FOX THEATRE | 1/26/14
If three shows of the Disco Biscuits (two at the Odgen Theatre and one at the 1STBANK Center) wasn't enough, the group will play a rare instrumental show under the name Tractorbeam at the Fox Theatre the day after the Biscuits three-night run. Word has it that these Tractorbeam sets were conceived as a different concert experience -- more like a DJ set than a traditional rock show.

My Westie loves these chews. I love them because he hasn't had to have his teeth cleaned by the Vet since I started giving him the chews. He was having to have them cleaned every year. I save the $400.00+ for the cleaning and my dog doesn't have to go through anesthesia
My dog loves them, and they keep her breath fresh. Win-Win!
Much better ingredients than those softer "greenies"; a safe and effective teeth cleaner; my 14 lb terrier mix loves them.

"Artie, It's been WAY too long since you last asked me out for a drink," You told your best friend, Arthur Kirkland.
"And that's precisely the reason I invited you here today!" He replied cheerily as the bartender pushed two glasses of beer your way. "Cheers!" Arthur exclaimed as he raised his glass into the air. You both lifted the mugs to your lips and took a swig of the beverage within. Swallowing, you sighed as you placed the glass back onto counter.
"How could it get any better than this?" You thought to yourself as you stared at Arthur. You would be lying if you said you didn't have any feelings for him, but you had never even HINTED them towards the beautiful Brit, in fear of rejection. He placed the mug back on the counter after slugging down a mouthful of beer. Turning to you, he smiled as he began to chat with you about the recent events in your mundane, everyday life. It went on like this for hours, talking about this, and that. You barely sipped on your drink that night. Arthur, on the other hand drank like there was no tomorrow...
"And then I said, no Becky, look at HER butt!" Arthur said as he let out a loud, obnoxious laugh, causing him to knock over his drink, AGAIN. You had lost count of how many he had that night, though by the way he was acting, you were certain it was more than enough.
"Er, miss? Is he going to be alright?" The bartender asked as he polished an empty wineglass.
"Yeah, he'll be fine. He always gets like this when he drinks," You said with a sigh and a smirk.
"What're you talkin' about...?! You don't know me! YOU DON'T RUN MY LIFE!" Arthur shouted as he stood up. He wobbled a bit, but regained his balance by grabbing onto the bar-stool.
"C'mon, Artie, we're leaving." You said calmly as you paid the bartender. Gathering your things, you stood up and motioned for Arthur to follow you.
"N-No! I'm not going, and there's nothing you can do about it!" Arthur exclaimed.
"Yep, you're definitely drunk. Let's go, Arthur!" You said as you dragged him out by the sleeve. "Thank You!" You called to the bartender as you waved with your free hand.
"LET GO OF ME, YOU BLOODY GIT!" Arthur shouted as he tried to resist your strength. It was no use, and soon you had reached your car. Since Arthur was obviously unfit to drive, you guided him into the passenger's seat as you started the engine. Making sure he was strapped in, you began to head for Arthur's house. Once you arrived, you parked the car in Arthur's driveway, and asked him for the keys. He groggily handed you the item in question, as he unbuckled his seatbelt. Standing up, he wobbled over to you, stood there for a moment, then collapsed in your arms. Sighing, you picked him up bridal style and carried him to the door. Once inside, you dropped the keys off at the counter and continued upstairs to his bedroom. Upon entering Arthur's room, he began to stir in your arms. He groaned as you set him down on the bed.
"_____? What happened...?" He asked as he stretched. "And what are you doing in my room?!" He exclaimed, suddenly panicked, though you didn't know why.
"You passed out in the driveway, so I brought you inside," You explained. He stared at you for a moment, then began to chuckle.
"Y-Y'know, you have really pretty eyes," Arthur stammered.
"W-what are you talking about?" You asked as your face turned a bright shade of red. "Did he seriously just say that? Or was it the alcohol talking..." You thought to yourself.
"A-and you know what else? Your hair is sooo perfect" He continued. "Listen, I'll tell you a secret," Arthur whispered as he scooted closer to you. "But you have to PROMISE not to tell _____." You choked back laughter as you nodded silently. "I like someone~!" he sang as he giggled. "But you have to guess who!" He exclaimed.
"I don't know, who?" you asked, just to humor him. You smiled, thinking of how childish the two of you were acting.
"I like... _____!" He said, grinning like a madman.
"W-what?!" You said, barely above a whisper, as your heart began to race.
"Oops! When did you get here, _____? You weren't supposed to hear that~" He said as he shook his finger at you, sort of like a mother scolding her child. You were almost certain it was the alcohol, now. Standing up, you turned to leave. You were rather disappointed, simply because you were convinced he didn't like you that way. "I have to go. Bye Ar-" Your words were cut short by Arthur's lips crashing onto yours. You were shocked by the sudden action, but quickly regained your composure as you kissed back with equal force.
"Why won't the world just go away..." Arthur moaned from the breakfast table. You had decided to stay the night at his place, since you knew he would need taking care of in the morning. "Thanks for staying, love. But you know, you didn't have to!"
"I know, but I don't mind," You replied as you continued to cook Arthur's breakfast. "Artie, you have NO IDEA how drunk you were last night." You said as you smiled.
"I'm pretty sure I do," Arthur replied with a sigh.
"Oh really?" You smirked as you plated up the eggs. Walking over to his side, you placed his food in front of him. "If that's so, then did you really mean it when you told me you loved me?" You asked him. Arthur's head shot up from the table.
"W-what are you talking about?!" He asked as his face turned completely red. "D-did I really say that?"
"Absolutely. And that's not all: You actually kissed me, too." Arthur groaned.
"Well, if you must know, yes. I did mean it." He said, quickly and quietly.
Your heart skipped a beat.
"In that case, I love you too." You returned as you kissed him lightly on the cheek.

POSTED: Thursday, December 15, 2011 - 4:48pm
UPDATED: Thursday, December 15, 2011 - 5:37pm
EL PASO- City and county leaders unveiled a new state-of-the-art data center in the lower valley today.
It holds all city and county records, including court cases, birth certificates, arrest records, and emails. The files are stored in servers inside this climate-controlled building. County Judge Veronica Escobar says it's saving the city and county millions of dollars.
"We're the first government in Texas it utilize this modern facility," says Judge Escobar.
The data center was a year in the making. It's a result of talks between the city and the county to share archived records.

Why a World Yoga Day?
The Global Consciousness Project, born out of research at Princeton University found that during times of great tragedy human consciousness focuses to such a degree that it actually affected their computers physically all around the world.

The robust dinner menu at Ristorante Il Porcino showcases the chefs' passion for natural ingredients and authentic Italian cuisine. Save fruit from the ignominious demise of being tossed at a clown with the prosciutto melone, which pairs fresh-cut melon, thin slices of prosciutto, parmesan cheese, and balsamic vinegar ($7.95). Pasta plates such as the vegetarian-friendly ravioli alla crema di noci tuck spinach and ricotta inside pillows of homemade ravioli beneath a blanket by a walnut cream sauce ($10.95). Meat-seeking mouths can nosh on the vitello de la casa ($13.95), with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella cheese nuzzled alongside hefty sautéed veal medallions opulently torn from rappers' necklaces. Walls lined with shelves of wine selections surround patrons with vine-grown meal-pairing options.
Ristorante Bella Vita's chefs carefully craft Italian cuisine to emulate that of their homeland, authenticating meals by baking thin-crust pizzas in brick ovens and dousing gnocchi in homemade pesto sauce. And the food isn?t the only feast the restaurant provides: the space itself, which includes an ample patio and robust, private event-ready wine cellar, gives diners plenty to feast their eyes on with sumptuous Renaissance-style sculpture, painting, and architectural details. In the lounge, every table is adorned with hand-painted tile mosaics that pop against the hand-brushed images of the Italian countryside. Rounding out the space, the private wine cellar?complete with brick archways and towering stacks of fine wines?also boasts a water heater that hisses out Venetian love songs on command.
At Pasta Q, chefs roll out homemade pastas and gnocchi and douse their doughy exteriors with creamy sauces and redolent spices. Eighteen diverse pasta renditions share table space with classic Italian-style meats buffered by roasted potatoes. An eclectic selection of imported Italian wines pair with bites, and homemade desserts ease the burden of spaghetti strands trying to shape themselves into the form of tiramisu. The menu's Mediterranean flourishes extend to the décor, with its deep-burgundy and mustard-yellow walls punctuated by mosaic-tiled benches and billowy white fabric suspended from the ceiling.
Papa Murphy's was born out of the owner's frustration with the bad versions of pizza he tried at chain restaurants, which often tasted as if every ingredient was canned or frozen. With the ultimate goal of changing the industry, Papa Murphy's tosses every ingredient?all of which are never frozen?onto crusts right in front of customers before they grab them to bake at home home. Consider the goal met: that dedication to fresh flavor earned Papa Murphy's the top spot on Zagat's National Chain survey.
At any visit, visitors can create their own take on pizza or chomp into one of the signature pizzas, which range from meat-filled stuffed crust to calorie-conscious lite varieties covered in vegetables. Appetizers and desserts follow the same pattern. Customers order raw cookie dough or cheesy bread ripe for the baking, resulting in every course being fresh from the oven.
Frankie, Johnnie & Luigi Too! has been a classic Italian eatery since 1956, from the family-style meals and traditional dishes down to the red-checkered tablecloths. The building that houses its original restaurant in Mountain View has been around since the 1920s, and it has vacillated from a speakeasy to a coffee shop to its current state as a friendly Italian restaurant. At each of the company's five locations, chefs masterfully toss pizza dough in the air to create specialty pies such as the vegetarian fantasy or seafood ecstasy, piled with scallops, shrimp, clams, and high concentrations of euphoria. The intoxicating aromas of garlic and marinara waft through the air as families and friends enjoy meals of house-made meatballs, New York-style Italian sausage, and veal scaloppini.
The dough wizards at Papa John's hand toss circular masterpieces with original and thin crusts made from high-protein flour to support warm bouquets of toppings. Hand-cut produce crowns all of Papa John's pizzas, mingling with the sun-soaked sweetness of sauce made from fresh, California-grown tomatoes. By adhering to its brand promise of "better ingredients, better pizza," Papa John's grew from a back-tavern pizzeria into more than 3,500 restaurants within three decades' time, or the amount of time it takes to grow a single pizzeria from a small seed.

I was just wondering, other than sweet potatoes, what is the second healthiest potato? I have a recipe that sweet potatoes wont work for. I just don't know what would be the best choice. Anyone happen to know???
100 lb. Club - Potatoes???View Full Version : Potatoes??? AudreyL 12-15-2010, 12:32 PM I was just wondering, other than sweet potatoes, what is the second healthiest potato? I have a recipe that sweet potatoes wont work for. I just don't know what would be the best choice. Anyone happen to know??? twinmommaplusone 12-15-2010, 03:23 PM There only Sweet/White/Red. So depending on your recipe? Personally I like both, I am a fan of potatoes once in a while. as long as I make them healhty, typically that is is to cube them and toss on some olive oil and fresh garlic and bake them! So Yum and loaded with potassium! DixC Chix 12-15-2010, 04:05 PM I like to think red skins are better because the skin is tender and more likely to be eaten - lots of good things there. However, I highly recommend and suggest you spend the extra money and get organic. Root vegetables are particularly susceptible to absorbing the nastiest stuff in our farms systems. Arctic Mama 12-15-2010, 04:09 PM Potatoes aren't unhealthy, that's a bit of food propaganda (in terms of nutrients they are a better choice than many foods!) but they are very starchy. And the least healthy, in terms of sugar content, happens to contain the most vitamins (sweet potatoes), so it isn't all cut and dry. Waxy red potatoes are lower in starch than the same amount of white potatoes (idahos, spuds, etc etc). They are a good choice, as they tend to be smaller than their white counterparts, and so it's easier to not overeat them by having a massive serving without realizing it. I nuke mine to softness and then eat them with lots of malt vinegar, it's absolutely delicious and very low in calories. Potatoes make a lot of us show water retention on the scale, but that is a temporary effect. They are moderately high in calories but can be a part f a healthy diet for someone not excessively sensitive to carbohydrates. I love potatoes, but I make sure to measure/weigh them so I don't overeat them and tend to include them sparingly (maybe a potato or two a week for most of the year). Nola Celeste 12-15-2010, 04:15 PM You could try some of the blue/purple varieties. Like other foods with a lot of purple and reddish pigmentation (think blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries), they're full of antioxidants. Of course, depending on the dish you're making, purple potatoes could look pretty strange--depending on your dinner guests, that could be a drawback or a benefit. :D I Googled this and it looks like red potatoes are slightly less caloric for a given volume than white/yellow potatoes (the LiveStrong article I read listed 100 calories versus 120 calories for a medium-sized red potato and yellow potato, respectively). As long as you're not on a low-carb plan, though, any kind of potato can fit. The keys are portion size and cooking method.

Land Rover LR4
BASE PRICE RANGE: $48,500-$57,665 BODY TYPE: Midsize/Luxury SUV
WHAT'S NEW: Last year, the (renamed) LR4 received a thorough refresh. Everything is better, including the much-appreciated horsepower increase. Improvements include a revised suspension, enhanced Terrain Response system, and a gorgeous new cabin, but the big news lies under the hood: a new Jaguar-sourced, direct-injection, 5.0L V-8 making 375 hp -- a 25-percent increase over the outgoing 4.4L mill.
AVOID: Complaining about low fuel econ; this is one very capable off-roader.

Guyatt, Helen L. and Brooker, Simon and Kihamia, Charles M. and Hall, Andrew and Bundy, Donald A.P.

Objective: To determine the impact of deworming on anaemia as part of a large-scale school-based anthelmintic treatment programme in the Tanga Region of the United Republic of Tanzania. Methods: Both the reduction in the prevalence of anaemia and the cost per case prevented were taken into consideration. Cross-sectional studies involved parasitological examination and anaemia evaluation before and at 10 months and 15 months after schoolchildren were dewormed. Findings: Baseline studies indicated that the prevalence of anaemia (haemoglobin < 110 g/l) was high (54%) among schoolchildren, particularly those with high intensities of hookworm and schistosomiasis. Attributable fraction analysis suggested that hookworm and schistosomiasis were responsible for 6% and 15% of anaemia cases, respectively. Fifteen months after deworming with albendazole and praziquantel the prevalence of anaemia was reduced by a quarter and that of moderate-to-severe anaemia (haemoglobin <90 g/l) was reduced by nearly a half. The delivery of these anthelmintics through the school system was achieved at the relatively low cost of US$ 1 per treated child. The cost per anaemia case prevented by deworming schoolchildren was in the range US$ 6 - 8, depending on the haemoglobin threshold used. Conclusions: The results suggested that deworming programmes should be included in public health strategies for the control of anaemia in schoolchildren where there are high prevalences of hookworm and schistosomiasis.

Becky and Sandra aren't the best of friends. Sandra is a middle-aged manager at a fast-food restaurant; Becky is a teenaged counter girl who really needs the job. One stressful day (too many customers and too little bacon), a police officer calls, accusing Becky of stealing money from a customer's purse, which she vehemently denies. Sandra, overwhelmed by her managerial responsibilities, complies with the officer's orders to detain Becky. This choice begins a nightmare that tragically blurs the lines between expedience and prudence, legality and reason.

An area business owner has been accused of ripping off a priest.
Albuquerque police said the owner of Gold and Silver Exchange on Menaul Boulevard told the priest to pay thousands for stolen coins.
David Castle said he just got out of jail.
He said he didn't know the coins were stolen.
VIDEO | Police: Business owner ripped off priest for $5K
Police said Castle, who owns the exchange, bought coins stolen from the home of Arkad Biczak, while Biczak was on a missionary trip in Africa this past December.
Castle paid $10,000 for the coins, according to police.
Castle said he later found out the coins were ripped off once Biczak came to his store and offered him a check for $5,000.
Castle said Biczak gave him the money out of the goodness of the priest's heart. The priest said Castle asked to be paid, which would be illegal.
"There's no reason someone should be paying for his own property back. No reason in the world," said Sgt. Mizel Garcia, with the Albuquerque Police Department.
Castle said he doesn't believe it was a crime to take the priest's money.
Castle is now facing charges, as are the alleged thieves who allegedly took the coins in the first place.
Castle said he told the priest he'd return the money. According to a police report, the priest hasn't heard from Castle or seen a dime since the transaction.
"No one deserves getting robbed, but had he not (kept his safe unlocked) he wouldn't have come in here," said Castle.
Police say in a prior case, Castle had stolen items in his store and refused to hand them over until police threatened him with a search warrant.
Castle maintains he did nothing wrong and has hired an attorney.

Riyadh: In an ornate living room, a group of women gathered around coffee and date cakes to celebrate the afternoon 18 years ago when they got into cars and drove the streets of Riyadh, a stunning defiance of Saudi Arabia's ban on female driving.
Saudi women drive down memory lane
In an ornate living room, a group of women gathered around coffee and date cakes to celebrate the afternoon 18 years ago when they got into cars and drove the streets of Riyadh, a stunning defiance of Saudi Arabia's ban on female driving.
- Image Credit: AP
- Using a loophole in Saudi Arabia's ban on women driving cars, a Saudi woman drives a dune buggie, in Thumama. Saudi women who made headlines when they broke the ban on driving in 1990 gathered recently to mark the occasion.
They have only one regret: the ban remains.
The protest, which made headlines around the world, cost the 47 female drivers and passengers dearly. They were arrested, lost their jobs for two-and-a-half years, were banned from travel for a year and were condemned by the clergy. To this day, some say they have not been promoted at work because of their protest.
On this night, however, the living room was alive with laughter as a dozen of the women recalled the joy on November 6, 1990.
"We were euphoric," Nora Al Ganem said. "I loved the double takes the men did when they saw us," said Nora Al Sowayan.
The women said the timing of the protest was tied to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the massing of US troops in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi women saw images of female US soldiers driving around in the desert and heard that Kuwaiti women had driven their children to safety across the border.
The women said the presence of international media covering the Iraq-Kuwait developments guaranteed their story would reach the whole world and that any government action would be less harsh than if the journalists were not there.
"At my parents' house on Thursday, my aunt was cursing the women who drove," said Al Ganem, an educator. "That was before the names were released. It was quite funny."
But amid the memories and laughter, there was also the sobering reality that over the past 18 years, little progress has been made toward reversing the driving ban and addressing other women's rights issues there.
On that day in 1990, the 47 women met at a mall parking lot. Fifteen of them - those with international driving licences - dismissed their drivers and got behind the wheel as the other women piled into the cars. "My driver was afraid he would lose his job," said Fowziya Al Bikr, an education professor.
They drove around for over an hour before being stopped by police. The reaction was phenomenal. Clergymen denounced the action as criminal.
But there wasn't only denunciation. Some Saudis wrote poems praising the drivers. And, remarkably for a male-dominated society, the women's husbands, fathers and brothers stood by them and not one of them was divorced because of their actions.
Al Sowayan said even though women are still unable to drive, "our action has galvanised society". "I have no regrets," said Al Sowayan, a sociologist.
"The new generation should have their chance even if it may mean ruining her chance to get a good husband," joked Al Bikr.

Get AccessAbstract
Fatigue can be defined as a subjective state of an imbalance in the availability of inner resources needed to perform physical or mental activities. The level of fatigue is determined not only by the availability of inner resources but also by the demands of the activities performed. Most conventional fatigue scales require subjects to rate their level of fatigue without specifying the situation. In the present study, we constructed a subjective rating scale, the Situational Fatigue Scale (SFS), with which subjects estimated their level of fatigue in specific activities of daily life. We administered the SFS, along with the Fatigue Assessment Instrument (FAI) to 96 outpatients in a family-medicine clinic and to 62 college students to assess the psychometric properties of the SFS. Principle component analysis revealed two underlying factors: physical fatigue and mental fatigue. SFS scores were significantly correlated with several FAI scores and differentiated patients complaining of fatigue from those who did not. The SFS also showed good internal consistency and test–retest reliability. These results suggest that the SFS could be a useful tool to measure a different dimension of the broad concept of fatigue.
